Michael Wilson was traded away (along with picks 11 and 12 in the first round) for Malik Nabors in a rookie draft trade that Adam Azer now regrets; the trade looks like it will be a bad one in hindsight, as the draft class turned out to be poor and the picks were too late in the first round.NegativeValueJul 22, 2026
Dave Richard stated he is not drafting Michael Wilson, declining to take him at the eight-to-nine turn despite the discussion of him versus Marvin Harrison Jr. at that draft position.NegativeUsageJul 22, 2026
Without Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field, Wilson averaged 13.6 targets per game and 25.9 fantasy points per game across five games; with Harrison healthy, Wilson dropped to 4.8 targets and 7.6 points per game across 12 games. Dave Richard notes this nine-target-per-game swing demonstrates Wilson's ceiling when given opportunities, though the concern is whether he'll receive those chances with Harrison, Trey McBride, and Jeremiah Love all competing for targets in the Arizona offense.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026

The source suggests there are reasons to buy into Wilson as long as you don't overpay, positioning him as a value play if the Cardinals throw as much as expected.PositiveProjectionNo date
Wilson was pretty awesome last year as a fantasy receiver in Arizona, and the source notes that receivers in general will be fine under Ben Petzing's offense, suggesting Wilson could continue to produce in his role.
